Pros

The office is cool, cool projects, good benefits, fair salaries.

Cons

They stress “culture”. The only culture I observed were long hours, lack of direction, antiquated workflows and this weird cult like atmosphere. Any place that stresses their culture usually has had to create one because of the workplace being toxic. They let a bunch of people go in the pandemic and did so in 2008 as well. Trust me they don’t care about you at all. First sign of an economic downturn if you aren’t a favorite or one of their chosen ones be prepared to say bye bye.

Pros

Great talent, leadership and potential to grow in the DFW market.

Cons

With the potential for growth in the DFW market, and so many areas to grow, staying focused on or two markets is tough.

Pros

Pay and benefits are decent. Hours are not outrageous, most weeks are just under 45 hours. Decent starter job, but most people with 3-5 years experience will leave for better opportunities.

Cons

No sick time and the PTO isn't great. Lack of diversity in leadership, holidays (no MLK day or Juneteenth off), or thinking (there is a "LandDesign" way of doing things, going outside that or questioning the established way of doing work is frowned upon). Getting pigeon-holed into one type of project or task is very common in my experience. Talk of "long hallways" but no actual cohesion between offices. A lot of playing into the games, fighting for popularity in order to get good projects and move up in the firm. Depending on the office/studio, projects can be pretty lackluster.
